Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Imagining the Worst-Case Scenario with Chris Kaipio & Jordy Shepherd
Q: Have you ever been in a situation where you planned for the worst case scenario and that planning was proven to be a good idea?
Regularly guiding and doing mountain rescue work, I planned for worst case scenarios, a notable one being when I prepared for a rescue situation after a summer avalanche, which ultimately saved us from being caught in a subsequent avalanche.
Decision Making in High-Risk Situations with Colin Zacharius
Q: What do you think it is so difficult to make good decisions in these situations that are higher risk?
The difficulties relate to the individual's ability to understand their mental and physical capabilities and to be aware of their surroundings, which are influenced by family familiarity, the nature of the task, and the need for feedback from nature or peers.
Recognizing Hazardous Attitudes with Geoff Powter
Q: How do you think we can recognize the impulsivity attitude in ourselves?
By being aware of whether we're skipping steps we know we should be taking or if we're rushing into decisions without proper reflection.
Recognizing Hazardous Attitudes with Geoff Powter
Q: Why does our attitude matter when it comes to making decisions and risk taking?
Because we are complicated and flawed decision-making machines, influenced by various factors including our values, perceptions, and gut instincts.
Smart Risk Taking with Barry Blanchard
Q: As a mountain guide, how do you determine which risks to take?
By assessing gut feelings, checking in with other guides, and keeping communication open with guests.
